Too many politicians are the same, straight from the Westminster bubble without any real-world experience, just career politicians.
I don't think it gets much more 'real-world' than my own experiences of working as an A&E doctor or volunteering as a policeman. Trust me when I tell you - I have seen it all!
I was inspired to enter public service by my Mum and Dad. My Mum, who is pictured in her student days below was a nurse. My Dad was a policeman, pictured here at my passing out parade when I finished my training. Together they taught me the values of public service and stepping up when it matters most.
We don't have enough MPs who understand the challenges on the front lines of our public services. I want to make the changes needed, I hope that gives you a better idea of who I am, my values and the sort of MP I would be for you.
